He produced ten albums in that decade, including two live albums, Live in Europe and Irish Tour ’74. November 1971 saw the release of the album Deuce. Gallagher played and recorded what he said was “in me all the time, and not just something I turn on Though he sold over thirty million albums worldwide, it was his marathon live performances that won him greatest acclaim  He is documented in Irish Tour ’74, a film directed by Tony Palmer. During the heightened periods of political unrest in Northern Ireland, as other artists were warned not to tour, Gallagher was resolute about touring Ireland at least once a year during his career, winning him the dedication of thousands of fans, and in the process, becoming a role model for other aspiring young Irish musicians
